What the DEV Community integration exposes
DEV Community (dev.to) is a community of software developers where you can publish articles, engage with others, and build your online presence.
One connection, many teammates
Connect DEV Community once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Create Article
Create a new article on DEV Community. Use this action to create a new article on behalf of the authenticated user. The article can be published immediately by setting published=true, or saved as a draft by setting published=false (which is the default). Required fields are title and body_markdown. Optional fields include description, main_image, tags, series, canonical_url, and organization_id.
- Get Article By ID
Returns a single published article by its ID, including full body content. Use this action when you know the unique ID of the article you want to retrieve. The response includes complete article details such as title, full HTML and markdown body content, author information, reaction counts, comments count, and reading time.
- Get Article By Path
Returns a single published article by username and slug path. Use this action when you know the username of the author and the article's slug. The response includes full article details including title, content, author info, reactions count, comments count, and reading time.
- Get Comment by ID
Returns a single comment and its descendants (replies) by comment ID. Use this action when you need to retrieve a specific comment along with all its replies from DEV Community. The response includes the comment content, author information, and nested child comments. Note: The comment ID is the id_code field (e.g., "1", "32k5a"), not the numeric user_id.
- Get Current User
Tool to get the currently authenticated user's profile information. Use when you need to retrieve the profile of the user associated with the provided API key. Returns user details including username, name, bio, location, and profile image.
Connection
API and auth details
DEV Community runs on Forem and exposes API endpoints for articles, users, comments, podcasts, tags, videos, reading list items, followers, and authenticated publishing workflows. Public endpoints are CORS-enabled when they do not require authentication, while user-specific actions use Forem API keys.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting DEV Community
Can Claude Code use DEV Community?
Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected DEV Community actions from a governed workspace context, so Claude Code work can reference the app without copying credentials into a local prompt.
Can Codex work with DEV Community through Type?
Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The DEV Community catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.
Is this the same as a DEV Community MCP server?
Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
